MONTH IN REVIEW 

Dear members

July began with round 6 of our Traction Tyres/Yokohama Drivers Championship at Philip Island.  We saw many new and familiar faces and all seasons in the one day.  It was Shannon and his dad's first time at the Island in their new E30.  They had quite the eventful day, which you can read about here.

____________________

We then had our July members meeting at Waverley BMW where we were joined by the 540d Touring Highway Patrol car on display for our members to see. We raised over $300 on the night for the Blue Ribbon Foundation so thank you all to our very generous members who helped support another worthy charity. 

____________________

Unfortunately we then went into another lockdown and we had to cancel our Christmas in July event for the second year in a row.  We're really sad to have to postpone one of our favourite events again and we're hoping that we will be able to hold it soon.  Any excuse to get the Christmas outfits out!

____________________

We wrapped up July with our delayed Broadford Come and Try/Driver Training Day yesterday. We had good registration numbers and it was a fun day as always.
